The present disclosure generally relates to a server system and other modules and components of the server system. More particularly, the present disclosure relates to a novel cooling arrangement of the server system, which allows effective cooling of side loading storage drives in the server system.

BACKGROUND 1. Field

The present disclosure generally relates to server system, and more particularly pertains to server system that has enclosure used to structurally support a load.

2. Related Art

In a conventional arrangement, server systems are usually mounted from the front of the server system rack like a drawer, and therefore it has been intuitive to arrange the majority of storage drives of the server systems at location(s) that is near a user for easy accessibility. In other words, the storage drives (e.g., hard drives) are usually arranged at the front part of the server systems, and therefore the storage drives are typically inserted or removed from a front face or a top face of the server systems. However, insertion from the front face of the server systems naturally limits the number of the storage drives by the front face area due to industrial specified width and height; insertion from the top face of the server systems requires the user to reach from above of the server systems while inserting or removing a storage drive, which is not convenient. On the other hand, insertion from the side faces of the server systems (e.g., the flank of the server system body) may increase the number of the storage drives as well as maintain easy accessibility to each storage drives. However, having more storage drives means more heat is produced within the server system. Furthermore, more storage drives under industrial specified width and height also means less available space for cooling. Therefore, side insertion of the storage drives usually has a thermal problem, which is highly undesirable to server systems.

The present disclosure provides a new arrangement of a side loading server system that incorporates enhanced heat management capability.

In addition, numerous specific details are set forth to provide a thorough understanding of the embodiments described herein. However, it will be understood by those of ordinary skill in the art that the embodiments described herein can be practiced without these specific details. In other instances, methods, procedures, and components have not been described in detail so as not to obscure the related relevant feature being described. Also, the description is not to be considered as limiting the scope of the embodiments described herein. The drawings are not necessarily to scale and the proportions of certain parts may be exaggerated to better illustrate details and features of the present disclosure.

According to one embodiment of the present disclosure, FIG. 1 illustrates a server system 100 mounted to a rack 500; FIG. 2 illustrates an exploded view of the server system 100 without the rack 500; FIG. 3 illustrates the arrangements in the server system 100. Referring to FIG. 2 and FIG. 3, the server system 100 has an enclosure. The enclosure comprises a deck (base) 11, a top cover 12 disposed over the deck 11, a front panel 13 disposed between the top cover 12 and the deck 11, a back panel 14 parallel to the front panel 13, a pair of side walls 15 parallel to each other, two component housings (i.e., storage module)17, two circuit boards 18, a fan module 19, a pair of fan mounts 20, a board insulator 21, a motherboard (not shown), and a power module 22. The pair of side walls 15 are arranged to be perpendicular to the back panel 14 and the stress supporting member 24. Further, the pair of side walls 15 are arranged to be perpendicular to the front panel 13. In some embodiments, the enclosure further comprises two side doors 16 parallel to each other. The pair of side doors 16 are arranged to be perpendicular to the front panel 13 and the stress supporting member 24. Further, the pair of side doors 16 are arranged to be perpendicular to the back panel 14. Each of the pair of side doors 16 are arranged to be at a substantially straight angle with a corresponding side wall 15. In one embodiment, the deck 11 is a rectangular plate having two longer sides and two shorter sides. The front panel 13 and the back panel 14 are each arranged at one of the two shorter sides of the deck 11; the side walls 15 and the side doors 16 are arranged at the longer sides of the deck 11. Each longer side of the deck 11 has a side wall 15 proximal to the back panel 14 and a side door 16 proximal to the front panel 13. In some embodiments, the side doors 16 are mechanically attached to enclosure. In some embodiments, portions of the enclosure act as jambs to the side doors 16 where mechanical attachments are formed. In an exemplary embodiment, the side doors are hinged to the top cover 12 and configured to angle away from the enclosure. Furthermore, the side wall 15 and the side door 16 on the same side of the deck 11 are substantially aligned with each other. The side wall 15 and the side door 16 are disposed between the top cover 12 and the deck 11. The component housings 17, the circuit boards 18, the fan module 19, the board insulator 21, the motherboard, and the power module 22 are disposed on the deck 11. The component housings 17 comprises a receiving frame structure (storage case) 171, and a plurality of device docks (drive bays) 172. The device docks 172 are configured to carry a plurality of electronic devices (i.e., storage drives, storage components) D, and the storage drives D can be inserted into the receiving frame structure 171 horizontally with the device docks 172 from the front end of the component housing 17. In some embodiments, the component housing 17 is configured to receive the plurality of storage components D in a stacked array formation. In one embodiment, the device docks 172 can be integrated into the receiving frame structure 171, and thus the receiving frame structure 171 can receive the storage drives D by itself. Thus, the device docks 172 may be arranged in a stacked array formation as well. In some embodiments, the component housing 17 has a top surface and a bottom surface respectively fastened to the top cover 12 and the deck 11. In some other embodiments, the component housing 17 has a front end and a back end opposite the front end. The front end is facing outward the enclosure and the back end is facing inward the enclosure. In some embodiments, the component housing includes a main body where openings between the front end and the back end of the main body allow access between the front end and back end of the component housing. The component housings 17 are arranged between the side doors 16 in a back-to-back arrangement. Each of the component housings 17 is facing one of the side doors 16. In other words, the front end of the component housings 17 are facing outward from the longer side of the deck 11. The component housings 17 are at a distance from a periphery of the corresponding longer side of the deck 11. Since the component housings 17 are facing the side doors 16, the device docks 172 and the storage drives D cannot be removed from the receiving frame structure 171 when the side doors 16 are closed. In some embodiments, the front end of the component housing 17 is at a distance from the side door 16.

In some embodiments, the pair of circuit boards 18 are arranged between the pair of component housings 17. The pair of circuit boards 18 are at a distance from each other. Each of the circuit boards 18 is vertically arranged with respect to the deck 11 at the back end of one of the component housings 17, so the circuit boards 18 are standing behind and covering the back end of the component housings 17. In some embodiments, the circuit boards are covering the back end of the component housings by having the planar surface (i.e., side of the circuit board having the largest surface area) of the circuit board 18 arranged projectively within the periphery of the back end of the component housing 17. In some embodiments, the circuit board 18 may arranged to extend from the periphery of the back end of the component housing 17. In an exemplary embodiment, the planar surface of the circuit board 18 may be disposed over the opening at the back end of the main body of the component housing 17. In some embodiments, each of the circuit boards 18 may be arranged at an angle from the deck 11. In an exemplary embodiment, the circuit boards 18 are arranged to be substantially perpendicular to the deck 11. Further, the circuit board 18 may be abutting the back end of the component housing 17. In some embodiments, the circuit board 18 is mechanically fastened to the back end of the component housing 17. In some embodiments, the circuit boards 18 can be electrically coupled to the storage drives D in the component housings 17 without cables in between. Thus, in some embodiments, the storage drives D and the circuit boards are coupled to each other using board-to-board connectors. Further, the circuit boards 18 are configured to form electrical coupling between the storage drives D and the motherboard.

The fan module 19 is arranged between the side walls 15 and configured to cool the component housings 17 and the circuit boards 18. The pair of fan mounts 20 are arranged separately in proximity to different side walls 15, and the fan module 19 can be installed to the server system 100 by coupling to the pair of fan mounts 20. As such, the fan module 19 sits across the deck 11 in a side-to-side direction in the server system 100. The motherboard is arranged on the board insulator 21 between the fan module 19 and the back panel 14, and the motherboard is electrically coupled to the circuit boards 18, the fan module 19, and the power module 22. The power module 22 is arranged between the side walls 15 closer to the back panel 14 than the fan module 19, and the back of the power module 22 is aligned with the back panel 14, and thus the back panel 14 does not cover the back of the power module 22 as such. Therefore, the power module 22 can be removed from the server system 100 independently. The top cover 12 is disposed above the deck 11 over the component housings 17, the circuit boards 18, the fan module 19, the motherboard, and the power module 22. Therefore, the deck 11, the top cover 12, the front panel 13, the back panel 14, the side walls 15, the doors 16, and the power module 22 together form an enclosure accommodating the component housings 17, the circuit boards 18, the fan module 19, the fan mounts 20, the board insulator 21, and the motherboard.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the top cover 12 comprises a storage cover 121 covering over the component housings 17 and the circuit boards 18, a fan cover 122 covering over the fan module 19, and a motherboard cover 123 covering over the motherboard. Therefore, the component housings 17 with the circuit boards 18, the fan module 19, and the motherboard can be accessed individually from the top of the server system 100 for maintenance by removing corresponding portion of the top cover 12.

FIG. 4 is a top view of FIG. 3 and FIG. 5 is a simplified partial layout PL of FIG. 4 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. Referring to FIG. 4 and FIG. 5, a cooling arrangement of the server system 100 in accordance to an embodiment of the instant disclosure (e.g., for the component housings 17 and the circuit boards 18 thereof) will be described below.

To cool the server system 100, the fan module 19 is configured to draw air into the server system 100 from the front panel 13 and blow air out of the server system 100 at the back panel 14. Between the front panel 13 and the back panel 14, the air driven by the fan module 19 flows through and cool the component housings 17 and the circuit boards 18. More specifically, as shown in FIG. 5, the air flows into a collecting space CS in the front panel 13 through multiple air inlets 133 of the front panel 13, and then the air exits the front panel 13 through multiple air outlets 134 at the sides of the collecting space CS. And then, the air flows into two periphery corridors (first corridors) FC between the front panel 13 and the component housings 17. In some embodiments, the periphery corridor FC is defined by a lateral separation between the front end of the component housing 17, one of the side door 16, and a portion of a stress distributing member 24. The periphery corridor FC is further defined by the vertical separation between the deck 11 and the top cover 12. In other words, a flow path is defined by an enclosure formed using the front end of the component housing 17, the side door 16, a portion of a stress distributing member 24, the deck 11, and the top cover 12. As shown in FIG. 5, the portion of the stress distributing member 24 arranged between side doors 16 and the component housing 17 form a seal for the periphery corridor FC. Further, the stress distributing member 24 forms a barrier between a front section and a rear section of the deck 11. The front section is further defined by a space between the pair of side doors 16. The rear section is further defined by a space between the pair of side walls 15. The pair of periphery corridors FC refer to the space situated inside the doors 16 and in front of the component housings 17 as shown in FIG. 5, so each of the two periphery corridors FC is defined between one of the doors 16 and one of the component housings 17 facing the door 16. The server system 100 further comprises a stress distributing member (first support) 24 arranged at the end of the periphery corridor FC and on a side closer to the back panel 14 of the component housings 17, and the stress distributing member 24 acting as an air stopper is configured to stop the air in the periphery corridor FC from flowing toward the fan module 19 without passing through the component housings 17 and the circuit boards 18. In some embodiments, the air flowing though the periphery corridor FC is exhausted by the fan module 19 to enter the component housing 17 through the front end and exit the component housing 17 through the plurality of slits 181 of the circuit boards 18. The stress distributing member 24 traverses the entire width of the deck 11. In some embodiments, the stress distributing member 24 is fastened to the deck 11 and the top cover 12. The stress distributing member 24 and the component housing 17 are arranged to abut each other. In one embodiment, the server system 100 can comprise other types of air stoppers disposed at the end of the two periphery corridors FC instead of or in addition to the stress distributing member 24, for example, airtight sealant, airtight foam, airtight tape, etc. As a result, the air flows from the two periphery corridors FC into the component housings 17 through multiple air holes 1721 at the front end, and then the air leaves the component housing 17 from the multiple slits 181 on the circuit boards 18. As such, the air enters a central corridor (second corridor) SC which is a space defined between the circuit boards 18. As the fan module 19 continues drawing, the air from the central corridor SC is driven through an opening 243 of the stress distributing member 24 between the central corridor SC and the fan module 19. The opening 243 may be formed by a perforation on the stress distributing member 24 aligned with the central corridor SC. In the end, the air passes through the fan module 19 and leaves the server system 100 from the back panel 14. The two periphery corridors FC are parallel to the central corridor SC, whereas the collecting space CS is perpendicular to the central corridor SC. It should be noted that, the collecting space CS in the front panel 13 should not be in direct communication with the central corridor SC between the component housings 17.

FIG. 26A-26E illustrates a boning structure according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the enclosure is divided into a front section and a rear section. A boning structure of the enclosure is configured to provide structural support to the enclosure when experiencing load force. In some embodiments, the boning structure includes the stress distributing member 24, the side walls 15 fastened to the ends of the stress distributing member 24, and a spine 25 disposed between the deck 11 and the stress distributing member 24. The spine 25 may be disposed substantially equidistantly to the pair of side walls 15. In some embodiments, the stress distributing member 24 further includes a holding bracket 246 configured to hold down the spine 25 when experiencing load force. The holding bracket 246 forming an arch in the bottom part of the stress distributing member 24.

In addition to the stress distributing member 24 being arranged to define a rear section of the enclosure from the front section, the stress distributing member 24 may be used as a structural beam capable of withstanding load. In some embodiments, a server rack is configured to receive a plurality of enclosure. When a user need to access the enclosure, the user may pull the enclosure partially away from the server rack. In this way, a portion of the enclosure is without support from the rack. When in use, the enclosure may be partially hanging out of the server rack and may be without support for the front section. The stress distributing member is configured form a cantilever for the enclosure when a portion (i.e. front section) of the enclosure is hanging. The front section of the enclosure is defined by an area between the front panel 13 and the stress distributing member 24. In some embodiments, the component housings 17 are arranged in the front section of the enclosure. In this way, the center of gravity of the enclosure is positioned in the front section. In some embodiments, the stress distributing member 24 extends beyond the component housings 17. In some embodiments, ends of the stress distributing member 24 extending beyond the front end of the component housings act as air stoppers in the periphery corridor FC.

In some embodiments, the spine 25 may form a channel having a web 251 and flanges 252 protruding from sides of the web 251. In some embodiments, the web 251 traverses across the whole length of front section and extending partially into the rear section. Further, the web 251 is fastened to the deck 11. In some other embodiment, depending on the material of the spine, the web 251 may extent partially into the front section and the rear section. In some embodiments, the flanges 252 are extending towards the direction of the top cover 12. In some embodiments, the flanges 252 are mechanically fastened to the stress distributing member 24. Further, the ends of the flanges form L-channels 253. In some embodiments, the L-channel may be a structure where a pair of planar structures are arranged to form an L shaped cross section. In some embodiments, the angle between the planar structures may be perpendicular to each other. In some other embodiments, the angle between the planar structures may be less than 180 degrees. In an exemplary embodiment, the flanges 252 are mechanically fastened to a side of the stress distributing member 24 facing the front section. In particular, a portion of the L-channel 253 disposed parallel to a surface of the stress distributing member 24 are fastened to the stress distributing member 24 using a fastener 254. Further, in some embodiments, the flanges 251 are mechanically fastened to the front panel 13. In an exemplary embodiment, the flanges are mechanically fastened to the internal frame 132 of front panel 13. In particular, a portion of the L-channel 253 disposed parallel to a internal frame 132 are fastened to the stress distributing member 24 using a fastener 254.

Referring across the width of the stress distributing member 24, when a weight load of the storage devices is applied to the front section of the enclosure, the spine 25 may present a load force to the stress distributing member 24 and the side walls 15 may each present support reaction force to the ends of the stress distributing member 24. Referring across the length of the enclosure, when a weight load of the storage devices D is applied to the front section of the enclosure, the stress distributing member 24 and the spine 25 may form a cantilever structure. In an exemplary embodiment, when the storage devices D are equally divided between the pair of component housings 17, the storage devices D may exert substantially constant loading on the length of the spine disposed across the front section.

Furthermore, the side walls 15 are arranged on the rear section of the enclosure. The side walls 15 of the enclosure are abutting the ends of the stress distributing member. In some embodiments, the side walls 15, the deck 11, and the top cover 12 are fastened to the stress distributing member 24. In this way, the structural integrity of the enclosure is supported by the stress distributing member 24 and, further, by the spine 25. When a force is applied to any of the side walls 15, the deck 11, and the top cover 12, the stress distributing member 24 may absorb at least a portion of the stress generated on the enclosure by the force applied.

FIG. 27A-27B illustrates a side door structure according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. In further embodiments, a seal strip 30 (as shown in FIG. 29) is disposed between the side door 16 and the jamb to the side door 16 on the enclosure. The seal strip 30 is configured to prevent air from entering the side door 16. In some embodiment, the seal strip 30 may be used as a barrier for the space between the jamb of the side door 16 and the side door 16. In an exemplary embodiment, the jamb of the side door 16 is a portion of the top cover 12. The seal strip 30 (as shown in FIG. 29) is disposed between the deck 11 and the top cover 12. The seal strip 30 is disposed between the side door 16 and the top cover 12, where the seal strip 30 is attached to an inner surface of the top cover 12. The seal strip 30 is configured to prevent air from entering through a space between the side door and the top cover.

FIG. 29 illustrates a cross sectional view of a side door structure according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. In some embodiments, the side door 16 (as shown in FIGS. 27A-27B) includes a door panel 165 and a sealing flange 164 formed at an angle from the door panel 165. In some embodiments, the sealing flange 164 is perpendicular to the door panel 165. In some other embodiments, an angle between the sealing flange 164 and the door panel 165 may be greater, or less, than 90 degrees. When the angle between the sealing flange 164 and the door panel 165 is greater than 90 degrees, the sealing flange 164 may form a barrier for a gap between the door panel 165 and the top cover 12.

The door panel 165 is configured to angle away from a corresponding side wall 15 (as shown in FIGS. 27A-27B). In other words, when the side door 16 is opened and/or moved away from the enclosure, an angle between the side wall 15 and the side door 16 may increase. The sealing flange 164 is configured to angle away from the top cover 12. In other words, when the side door 16 is opened and or moved away from the enclosure, an angle between the sealing flange 164 and an inner surface of the top cover 12 may increase. Further, when the side door 16 is opened, the front end of the component housing 17(as shown in FIGS. 8-9) may be exposed and the user may gain access to the electronic components stored within the component housing 17.

In some embodiments, when the side door 16 is closed, the sealing flange 164 forms a barrier between the outside environment and the periphery corridor. Although the sealing flange 164 may not be directly touching the top cover 12 or the seal strip 30, the air flow from outside environment may still be prevented from entering the periphery corridor and the air flow within the periphery corridor may be prevented from leaking out of the enclosure. Further, when the side door 16 is closed, depending on the mechanism used, the side doors may be at rest. In other words, the side door 16 may be covering the front end of the component housing 17 when no force (e.g., pulling force) is applied to the side door 16.

In some embodiments, when the seal strip 30 is attached to the inner surface of the top cover 12 and is disposed adjacent to the side door 16, the thickness of the seal strip 30 is no less than a distance between the top cover 12 and the sealing flange 164 when the side door 16 is closed. In some other embodiments, when the door is closed, the sealing flange 164 and the seal strip 30 may be substantially abutting each other.

In some other embodiments, the periphery of the top cover 12 arranged above the side doors 16 may be folded. Thus, the thickness of the seal strip 30 may further have additional thickness of the top cover 12 and the thickness that is no less than a distance between the top cover 12 and the sealing flange 164 when the side door 16 is closed.

In some other embodiments, the thickness of the seal strip 30 is less than a distance between the inner surface of the top cover 12 and the top row of device docks 172. In some such embodiments, when the top row of device docks 172 are removed from the enclosure, the seal strip 30 may not impede on the path of the device docks 172. In some other embodiments, the thickness of the seal strip 30 is less than a distance between the inner surface of the top cover 12 and the top row of storage drives D (as shown, e.g., in FIG. 2). Consequently, when the top row of storage drives D is removed from the enclosure, the seal strip 30 may not impede on the path of the storage drives D.

In some embodiments, the stress distributing member 24 may include a pair of door stops 245 protruding from areas of the stress distributing member 24 arranged between the side doors 16 and the component housings 17. The door stops 245 are configured to seal a gap between the side doors 16 and the side walls 15.

FIG. 6 illustrates the front panel 13 being disassembled according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. The front panel 13 comprises an external frame 131, and an internal frame 132 opposite the external frame 131. Multiple air inlets 133 are formed on the external frame 131 through perforations. Multiple air outlets 134 are formed on the internal frame 132 through perforations. The front panel 13 can be installed to the server system 100 by coupling the internal frame 132 between the side of component housings 17 and the deck 11. In other words, the component housings abut the internal frame. In some other embodiments, the component housing is further arranged to be fastened to the front panel 13. And, the external frame 131 is coupled to the internal frame 132 to form the collecting space CS. In some embodiments, the collecting space CS is formed between the external frame 131 and the internal frame 132. In some embodiments, the collecting space CS is arranged to collect particles from outside environment. However, the use of the collecting space CS is not limited thereto. The multiple air inlets 133 are arranged on the external frame 131.

When the door 16 is closed, one seal 161 is arranged proximal to the deck 11, whereas the other seal 161 is arranged proximal to the top cover 12. In other words, one seal 161 is installed near the door hinge 162, while the other is installed away from the door hinge 162.

In one embodiment of the present disclosure, the plurality of storage drives D is 3.5-inch in size. A 3.5-inch storage drive usually outperforms a 2.5-inch storage drive in cache size, RPM (revolution per minute), maximum storage capacity, data transfer speed, and price. However, the 3.5-inch storage drive has a higher power consumption than a 2.5-inch storage drive, hence higher operational temperature. The high operational temperature in combination with the component housing 17 being tightly packed with the 3.5-inch storage drives D, cooling of the server system 100 becomes a very serious issue. According to a cooling test result shown in FIG. 24, the cooling arrangement in FIG. 5 cools the storage drives D in operation with a result of temperature difference at 2.9 degrees Celsius and highest temperature at 45.7 degrees Celsius between the storage drives D. The low temperature difference shows an even and balance cooling across the storage drives D, whereas the highest temperature being lower than 50 degrees Celsius satisfies the general industrial standard of being safe and stable. It should be noted that, the air flowing within the server system 100 between the fan module 19 and the front panel 13 is laminar flow, and the air flowing between the fan module 19 and the back panel 14 is turbulent flow, and the same cooling arrangement can be applied to the storage drives D in 2.5 inch, as long as the physical capacity of the receiving frame structure 171 occupied by the device docks 172 and the storage drives D is more than 70%.

Moreover, the weight of a 3.5-inch storage drive is approximately four times of the weight of a 2.5-inch storage drive. Therefore, carrying twenty-four 3.5-inch storage drives D at a front portion FP of the server system 100 as shown in FIG. 3 puts a lot of stress to the deck 11. FIG. 25 illustrates the server system 100 with a third support 27 according to one embodiment of the present disclosure. To further enhance the structural strength of the deck 11, the third support 27, other than the stress distributing member 24 and the spine 25, can be included in the central corridor SC and coupled between the stress distributing member 24 and the internal frame 132. However, the server system 100 can include at least one from the stress distributing member 24, the spine 25, and the third support 27 in any combination thereof according to one embodiment of the present disclosure.
